Residual Father’s Day Thoughts

What a wonderful day! I got to be alone at home for a little while, carving in wood out in the sunshine. I played some guitar. I played my Dad his song.

The Magic House

You know what I do? I'm such an idiot. You know what I do? I forget how good I have it. I bellyache when things don't go my way. I bitch when the coffee gets cold. I whine about my double-vision and having to look like a friggin pirate now, but you know what? I should seriously STFU. It hit ...
